Pop Tabs
You can make a difference for children & families in the Ozarks by participating in our Pop Tab Pandemonium. Just collect the Pop Tabs from your beverage cans and bring them to the Ronald McDonald House of the Ozarks, 949 E. Primrose St., Springfield. The Pop Tabs will be recycled and the proceeds will provide needed support to Ronald House® families through our Family Fund and to "Tooth Truck"™ children seen on our Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® through our Patient Needs Fund.
Since 1997, the Pop Tab program has been in place to benefit the Family Fund, which was established to help fill individual needs of some of our families experiencing extenuating circumstances with their ill or injured children. The Family Fund helps over 100 Ronald McDonald House families each year.
We are excited to announce that, in late 2008, our Pop Tab program expanded to benefit the Patient Needs Fund for the "Tooth Truck." This fund was created in 2005 to help fill individual needs of the children seen of the "Tooth Truck."
Pop Tab donors include churches, school groups, McDonald’s Restaurants,
Girl Scout & Boy Scout groups, businesses throughout the Ozarks, social/fraternal
groups, as well as Ronald McDonald House families, volunteers and staff.
